Rethink shopping. I really am not a huge fan of shopping in most situations. We practice the ‘no impulse buys’ philosophy. If you see something you want, and you remember it 24 hours later, then you can go back and get it. This saves us HUGE amounts of money!
We went to Garden Ridge to look for some planters for the yard, and only because we were in the area. We found nothing of interest to buy, but we sure had fun playing in the store. It’s amazing we didn’t get kicked out.
You might be asking why I would even go into a store since I have no intention of purchasing anything. Sometimes I just need to get out of the house. Other times I just like to see about all the current purchasing hype and expensive fashion trends. We have enough self-control to go into a store and know we’re not going to buy anything, so we go to look around and have some fun. There are so many phone-camera photo ops in retail stores.
All squirrels are evil! Even plastic ones…
